The Waller County Democratic Club was organized in April 1988 to stimulate in people an active interest in government affairs, increase the efficiency of popular government, to perpetuate the ideals and principles of the Democratic Party, and to help acquaint the voters and the potential voters with the issues and with the candidates running for office. The Waller County Democratic Club was chartered by the state in May 1988.

Ms. Annie Laura Day was a mentor to the Waller County Democratic Club who was a friend to the Honorable Ann Richards. Ms. Day was able to use her influence to get the Honorable Ann Richards to speak in Brookshire, Texas at one of the Club’s banquets. In turn, the Waller County Democratic Club chartered a bus to the inauguration festivities of Ann Richards as the newly elected Governor of the State of Texas. Other speakers who spoke at the Waller County Democratic Club’s banquets included State Representative Alma Allen, Attorney Ben Hall, Jew Don Boney, Past State Representative Sylvester Turner to name a few.
